Port Settings
This page provides numerous network details for each of the installed
ports on the TX unit.
Socket
- Details each operational network socket. Sockets 3 and 4 are
determined by the SFP modules plugged into them.
MAC Address
- Displays the unique, fixed hardware identification
number for each port.
Link Up
- Indicates whether the link state of this network interface is
up. This should be the case if the device is connected to a functioning
network.
IP Address
- The IP address of this network interface. This is not
configurable, the device can function in a network zero-config state
which does not require the setting of a static IP address.
Netmask
- The netmask of this network interface. This is not
configurable, the device can function in a network zero-config state
which does not require the setting of a static netmask.
Gateway
- The gateway address of this network interface. This is not
configurable, the device can function in a network zero-config state
which does not require the setting of a static gateway.
DHCP Enabled
- When ticked, the corresponding port will derive its IP
Address, Netmask and Gateway details from the DHCP server listed in
the field below.
DHCP Server Address
- Indicates the server that provided the DHCP
details.
Bandwidth Limit
- This option can be used to limit the amount of the
network bandwidth used on the physical interface. This could be useful if
multiple devices share a common network link upstream; without a limit,
the link could become overloaded and drop data.
TX - Network
Routing Table
- Click on ‘Details’ to show the routing table entries
corresponding to this network interface. In it are the destination address,
gateway and netmask for the routes to particular network destinations.
Network Settings
Default Domain
- Reserved for future use.
Route of Last Resort
- In a multi interface device such as this, the
interface which is ticked will be used as the default whenever it is
unclear which interface should be used for network traffic.
Dynamic DNS Servers
- List of DNS server addresses obtained via
DHCP.
Static DNS Servers
- Lists DNS server addresses that have been
manually configured.
NTP Enabled
- When ticked, the unit will derive its time and date
information from a suitable NTP server.
NTP Key ID
- The ID of the key used for secure NTP.
NTP Key Value
- The value of the key used for secure NTP as a
hexadecimal string.
Dynamic NTP Servers
- Lists NTP server addresses obtained via
DHCP.
Static NTP Servers
- Lists NTP server addresses that have been
manually configured.
AIM Enabled
- Indicates whether server management is enabled for
this device.
Dynamic AIM Servers
- Lists AIM server addresses obtained via
DHCP.
Static AIM Servers
- Lists management server addresses that have
been manually configured.
